“At a time when Americans are desperate for institutions they can trust, public broadcasting continues to deliver − with integrity, with reach, and with deep community roots. Congress should reject calls to defund NPR and PBS. Not as a partisan statement, but as a commitment to democracy itself.”

Public media shows up when it matters most. In her latest op-ed, @knightfoundation.org President & CEO @maribel-wadsworth.bsky.social makes the case for why we must continue funding NPR, PBS and local stations that keep communities informed, connected and safe. www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

Honored to sit down with @jay.bsky.team at Knight Media Forum for a conversation on their rapid growth to 30M+ users in just one year.

“The power to create change isn't lost — it's local. It lives in every single one of us. It rests in the hands of committed people working in their own communities, where the daily work of renewal continues.” This morning, we welcomed leaders to our largest #KMF yet. Watch here: kf.org/42ZwwJF

“The power to make change is not lost. It’s local.” - @maribel-wadsworth.bsky.social @knightfdn.bsky.social with a shout out to #MaconGA’s power in building community in #DowntownMacon, first!

Kicking off @knightfdn.bsky.social’s #KMF25 with some inspiring words from President & CEO @maribel-wadsworth.bsky.social: “Power grows where trust remains. And the people have the power... Engaged, committed citizens are the key to making our communities — and ultimately our country — better.”

"I’m proud that this week, we announced a new $25M commitment to the American Journalism Project. The American Journalism Project is an organization that has been pivotal in helping local newsrooms find sustainable business models." – @maribel-wadsworth.bsky.social at #KMF2025

Still feeling inspired after hearing U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in conversation with @knightfdn.bsky.social President & CEO @maribel-wadsworth.bsky.social. She reminded us that democracy thrives on our participation, dissent should be met with respect, and voting is our voice. 💙

Incredible account of the chaotic, terrifying scene as the Pacific Palisades fire overtook fleeing residents and first responders.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2y ago

The Pacific Palisades fire erupted in a way that residents knew could happen, but are never prepared for. Everything, it seems, caught fire in a matter of minutes, outpacing the swarm of police and fire officials who raced to the scene.

Probably a good day to re-up this report from @knightfdn.bsky.social and Gallup:

Media and Democracy: Unpacking America’s Complex Views on the Digital Public Square

Are internet technologies doing more harm than good to our democracy? And what - if anything - should lawmakers do…
